RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Cook Children's Health Care System full-time
Pros
A workplace that you go into each day and feel like you are making an impact in improving the local community through your actions. Our staff and leadership express strong empathy, imagination and compassion. The work is exciting. Families are our pure focus, with employee health and satisfaction HEAVILY on leadership's mind. Work that feels good. I drive in excited to contribute each day, I drive home satisfied.
Cons
Lots of dual-roles to manage while the system is learning to balance staffing during an important growth period. Adds to your daily responsibilities, but also keeps you on your toes ... evolving with the system.

Pros
Working with children Tuition reimbursement Starbucks...when it's open.
Cons
-The little people (bedside nursing) that keep the place afloat don't seem to matter as much as upper admin or those that don't work the bedside anymore. You are always replaceable. -It's about WHO you know, not what you know or what you do. -Pay is 6-10% less than surrounding hospitals and Dallas Children's so it's pretty much the same level of work for way less pay. They also won't pay any market adjustments to keep up with the rising expenses of living in or around DFW. -Don't offer float pay or critical care pay when sent to critical care units, but ICU nurses continue to get their differential when floating to med surg units. -Emotional/mental abuse bedside care staff deal with from families and other staff is never addressed appropriately by management. There are a lot of biases in favor of those that have worked there a long time or families that are friends with executive personnel. -It's a business first like most hospitals, patient safety is not always a priority when it comes to saving money. -You don't really get to use the PTO you earn if your plans interfere with low staffing or managers vacation/time off. -Essentially, it's like any other hospital so don't think that because it's for children that's it a better place to work.
